“Well, looks like I need to find Twilight… I wonder if she is okay.” Pinkie was getting little sad about her and her friend being separated but she had a flame inside her heart that told the pink pony that everything would be fine.

She trotted through the maze of bookshelves until she finally found a door that led her to a beautiful hall with pillars standing in the middle forming a circle. She noticed the gorgeous painting on the ceiling and the fine details of the pillars. There was a door on the other end of the hall. As she headed to it, she entered into a new room but couldn’t see anything in front of her.

“Hello, anypony here?” The earth pony called.

She kept going further into the room, further into the gloom when she started feeling oppressed by the darkness.

To her relief, the lights turned on. She was in the dancing hall on where she went in the Gala. A moment of nostalgia broke her bad thoughts for a moment when she saw at the center of the room a little colt.

“Hey you!” The colt turned himself, looking now directly into Pinkie’s eyes. “Yeah you, what are doing in such a place little colt?” Pinkie got closer to him.

“NO! Don’t come any closer to me!” The colt yelled

“Wow, don’t worry I’m not going to hurt you, I just want to help and…”

“I don’t need anypony’s help! I just want to be with my mom, and everypony is trying to stop me!”

“And who would do that anyway, like duh.”

“She left me so long ago. But I am going to see her now and no one will stop me from finding her!” With that, the colt ran away through a glass door that leads to the castle’s garden.

Pinkie was a little reluctant about following the colt, but she knew that she couldn’t let such a little pony stay alone like that. However, it was the Princesses’ castle so she thought about letting him go.

But strangely, there was no other way for her to go through so she headed the same way where the colt went.

The garden fenced area wasn’t too big and the fence gates that would lead her outside were locked with enormous padlocks.

‘Why is everything locked up? Is somepony afraid of something?’ Pinkie thought. Glancing around, the earth pony couldn’t spot any sign of the colt. The garden fenced area was encircling probably the whole castle. She kept trotting around it until she found an end with a big quantity of debris blocking her path. There was another glass door she entered and saw that she was in a small room with a desk standing at the center with a small pile of books on top of it with the floor covered in a fine tapestry.

She was about to look at one of the books but she heard a loud roar followed by a crashing sound.

“What was that?” Pinkie took a look around and didn’t notice anything suspicious as she opened the book and started reading it.

(music)

“Argh!” Twilight dodged the creature’s charge by a hoof of distance. The monster had almost fallen from the fenced wall that was now falling into the depths followed by an echoing crashing noise.

The lavender mare began cantering as fast as she could but soon she felt the floor trembling as her attacker came closer. She glanced back and tried to find a way to escape from it. The dragon like monster was big, but it wasn’t occupying the entire corridor so Twilight attempted to deviate from its way by moving through its left side.

As she hoped, the monster missed her and stopped to turn around and attack again. Twilight darted through the right side of it and managed to gain some distance from her aggressor as it was turning around again to attempt another strike.

The second corner was now closer and Twilight was starting to gain some confidence. Reaching it, she didn’t lose any time as she continued cantering towards a door standing in the end of the corridor. ‘It’s a small door, so this creature will not be able to pass through it… so I’ll be safe.’ She thought.

When she almost reached the end, Twilight took hold of the doorknob and opened the door, finding herself lucky to unearth a door that wasn’t locked up. She darted inside and found another corridor, but this time it was a normal one with another door at its end.

She reached it an opened the door but stopped and looked back. To her surprise the monster wasn’t stopping its charge.

“Oh no…“ Was all she could say at the moment that her attacker broke through the wall with an immense power, throwing shattered bricks all over the place. Without further delay she entered in the new room; it was exactly shaped as the earlier corridor.

While continuing her frantic trotting she hoped to find another open door at the corridor’s end but to her dismay, there wasn’t one.

“How I am going to escape it?” Her mind was racing, trying to find some solution.

She stopped at the corridor’s end and turned back to face the creature. She found a single way out and hoped that it would work, or else; she wasn’t sure of what would happen to her.

Charging her magic, she cantered towards the monster and at the last minute she teleported several hooves past it. As she expected, it didn’t managed to stop and hit the wall with a loud crash, she was about to run away through the way from where she came but a scream echoed through the corridor walls.

“Pinkie?!” Twilight wasn’t sure if it was her friend or not. She turned to the broken wall and saw what she wasn’t expecting to see.

Pinkie Pie was curled up under a desk in the center of a small room. The monster bit the desk and threw it out of the way; Pinkie Pie saw Twilight with the corner of her eyes.

“Pinkie! Come here, fast!” Twilight yelled.

Pinkie stood up and ran into Twilight’s direction.

“Twilight what is this thing!?!?” Said Pinkie while they were trotting away from the monster.

“I don’t know… but I know that it is better to us if we go faster!!!” Twilight’s legs were aching but she wasn’t stopping no matter what would come across her.

“Twiiiiliiight!” Pinkie screamed.

“Huh… No!!!” Twilight turned and saw that Pinkie was caught by the monster’s tongue. She was struggling to free herself and managed to bite it. The monster roared in pain and dropped her to the ground. But it came even closer now to the pair of friends as Pinkie Pie stood up.

“Pinkie, watch out!” Twilight screamed.

The pink earth pony turned her head just to see the monster’s huge deformed claws hit her in the head, throwing her head-first into the wall.

Twilight took a pile of debris with her magic and threw at the creature’s head, trying to focus her strike principally in the eyes. It worked as she expected and the creature started shaking its head side to side with its claws in its eyes, rubbing them ferociously.

Twilight helped Pinkie stand up, noticing that her head wasn’t badly injured so she decided to keep going.

All the debris that fell with the monster’s rampage made a huge pile where the door once stood, making the passage hard to get through since both friends would need to climb it up to escape.

Twilight decided to use her teleportation spell, she started charging it to use on the two ponies. Pinkie understood and kept herself quiet to let her friend concentrate. The unicorn felt ready to perform the spell, but a loud crack broke her concentration.

A boulder hit Twilight making her fall harshly on the floor with the big stone pressing her body to the ground.

“You’re not taking me down so easy!” Twilight roared. She took hold of the boulder with her magic and threw it back to the creature; it dodged the attack and to her surprise it launched its tongue into her direction.

The lavender mare closed her eyes and waited for the impact, but it didn’t come.

She opened her eyes and saw Pinkie standing there in front of her. Her eyes were frozen, looking into Twilight’s.

The unicorn looked down and saw an enlarging pool of blood that was leaking from Pinkie’s chest and onto the floor. Twilight gasped as she saw that the monster’s tongue had impaled through her friend’s flesh. The creature twisted its oral organ inside Pinkie’s body, making more blood spit out from the cavity, Pinkie’s eyes opened in a reflection of pain.

“P-P-Pinkie?!?!” Twilight stammered.

Twilight gritted her teeth so hard that she felt her head aching. Her muscles tensed up and she started floating several hooves from the floor as she uncontrollably charged her magic and began firing it like lightning bolts at the monster’s body. The creature began to cry in pain with each strike.

Twilight’s energy drew out; she loosened strength in her legs and fell to the floor exhausted from her onslaught. The mound of deformed and burnt flesh that once was a living being was now lying on the floor, almost unrecognizable due to the attack it had suffered.

Twilight trotted closer to Pinkie who was curled up with her hooves in her injured spot.

“Pinkie…” Twilight sighed. She wasn’t even able to cry due to all that she had gone through that day. She couldn’t think of anything. Her mind was blank at the moment but a faint breathing sound found its way to her ears.

“Pinkie… I’m sorry…” Twilight stood up and leaned closer to her friend. Pinkie placed a hoof to her friend’s cheek.

“Please Twilight… help that colt…” The earth pony’s eyes closed, she gave her last breath as her life faded away.

“H-H-help him?” Twilight lay on the floor at her friend’s side, staring at the ceiling.

“And now… what should I do?”
